In November SwimTrek will launch its first ever triathlon coaching camps in Tenerife, Spain.
The six-day training camps will be focused on swimming technique and practice and guests can expect to swim up to 4km per day.
SwimTrek coaches will guide guests through the various aspects of open water swimming, from drafting and sighting to arm recovery and stroke technique.
There will be sessions at the state-of-the-art facilities at Tenerife Top Training, where guests can make use of the 50m open air swimming pool, indoor and outdoor gym and high-tech swimming flume. Swimmers will also enjoy sea swims, offering up the chance to get out in the open water and put their newfound skills into practice.
Fiona Ford, SwimTrek’s specialist triathlon coach and former Kona Ironman podium finisher, said: “After 18 years competing in races from standard and ITU triathlon to Ironman distance events, including racing as a professional, I understand how essential it is for any triathlete to develop the full range of skills necessary to feel confident in open water.
“I am very excited to bring together a focus on swimming for a specialist triathlon-coaching week with SwimTrek. With triathlons and open water swimming continuing to gain in popularity, the timing of the SwimTrek training weeks [in November and May] extend the season and provide fast tracking of basic skills, and progressing into advanced skills for versatility and sustainable speed.
“Tenerife offers the perfect environment for swimmers who are serious about taking their triathlon swimming to the next level, with stunning sea swimming to apply the full range of skills. I’m thrilled to be leading the next wave of triathletes into open water and helping them deliver a fast, effective swim at their next triathlon event.”
